Red Mobile, will you go Red?

This is one topic that I wanted to share to you. Let's see if Red Mobile ends up King of the Hill or not.

Red Mobile was first owned by Connectivity Unlimited Resource Enterprise (CURE), the 4th network in our country, and was named Umobile before being named Red Mobile. However, this did not get the attention of the consumers, in tagalog "hindi nag-click". So SMART, wanting to expand its network coverage, bought CURE and rebranded Umobile to Red Mobile. SMART now has a wide netwrok coverage, not only in GSM networks but in 3G networks as well, I must remind you that Red Mobile Subscriber Identity Modules only work in 3G handsets. Now, Red Mobile is starting its ad and it seems like a worthy opponent compared to other network couriers. Let's see what Red Mobile has to offer:

-Sim Card is sold at PHP 39.00 (Each SIM is pre-loaded with Php10 or an equivalent of 20 minutes of RM-RM calls)

Voice Call rates:
-RM-RM at PHP .50/min
-RM-Other Networks at PHP 6.50/min

Short Message Service rates:
-RM-RM at PHP .50/text
-RM-Other Networks at PHP 1.00/text

Multimedia Messaging Service rates:
-RM-RM at PHP .50/MMS

Video Call rates:
-RM-RM at PHP .50/min
-RM-Other Networks at PHP 6.50/min

WAP Browsing
-PHP 7.50/15min

You do the math right now and compare it to the other networks, some rates Red beats the other networks without a doubt BUT that is if you use it with another Red Mobile, while some rates other networks just beat Red Mobile hands down. Qouted from Red Mobile "We are committed to delivering the best rates through our lowest per minute call rates and affordable text/mms rates."
